Sure but its not that farfetched either

Whether or not it actually happened, calling it out is the right move. Don't make death threats, don't harass, don't threaten to dox people. It doesn't help, and simply discussing the issue was enough to highlight the problems with the shadowban list

    Why though, this strengthens his argument about the harassment

    Unless the alt is being used to evade bans, or trying to steer the conversation, I don't see the benefit in chasing around the dev on different accounts. Report it to mods/admins as needed, but don't share it in this thread where a lot of people are already upset at the person

    This bit:

    Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg

    I don't know the extent of it, but I can definitely see this happening. Its not a fediverse thing, or a social media thing, some people take things too far.

    I'm really hoping this is a joke website, or it was made for a TV show or something. It was the first result when I looked up "buy organs"

    https://organcity.com/about/

    If they are preying on desperate people, then that is just vile and the site should get shut down.

    Because none of this makes sense, emphasis mine

    To the people downvoting, the point is that the headline is misleading. No one is saying that Trump's statements are ok

    For example, these previous incidents were not announcements either. It's a BAD thing that he keeps making statements like this, jokes or not, but there's still a difference between announcing a re-election bid and testing the water with "jokes".

    Trump jokes about running for a third term in speech to House Republicans

    It's not the first time the president has publicly mused about seeking another four years in the White House, which would be barred by the Constitution.

    Dec 2025

    The comments came after he told NBC in March that he was "not joking" about seeking another term in office, after repeatedly publicly musing about the possibility. He also said at the time that despite the constitutional limitations, "there are methods which you could do it."

    Oh I misunderstood

    I was referring to how they're having his kid take up the mantle, effectively telling a new story within the same universe. Marvel seems to be trying to keep that one universe, and I think fans of the character would rather see more content now than wait a long time

    When the evacuated B.C. community of Boston Bar was ordered out Thursday due to the Brunswick Complex wildfire, officials shut the water off to protect critical infrastructure and prioritize firefighting efforts.

    That night, someone turned the water back on, according to the Fraser Valley Regional District.

    “Unfortunately, when they did so, they did it incorrectly and they caused some damage to the infrastructure,” said district chair Patricia Ross.

     

    Police in southwestern Colorado say a man from British Columbia [Canada] has died after the helicopter he was piloting crashed on Sunday.

    The body of 56-year-old Nicholas Dale of Sooke, on southern Vancouver Island, was pulled from his helicopter that went down in the Silver Jack Reservoir, in a remote area southwest of Aspen, Co., according to Adam Murdie with the Gunnison County Sheriff's Office.

    Murdie says Dale had been helping firefighters with the Gold Mountain Fire, which has grown to about 148 square kilometres. Dale was the only one in the helicopter at the time.

    The global relevance of this:

    Republicans threaten Canada with sanctions over drifting wildfire smoke

    Fires are also blazing across the US and the Trump administration has repealed several climate protections

    I think this article and headline does a poor job of explaining the wider context around this one.

    It is likely to be aimed at financial traders who want to see market-moving news fast. Trump’s social media posts often cause sudden swings in global markets, especially when he writes about trade and tariffs.

    For firms, a delay of even seconds can be costly. Until now, banks and traders had to monitor the app manually. The new system will send posts directly to paying clients.

     
    At 9:19 PM PDT, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm capable of producing strong wind gusts and heavy rain.
    
    This thunderstorm is moving to the northwest at 40 km/h and is nearing the White Rock area and will likely track through Surrey.
    
    Heavy rain may cause flash flooding and significant reductions to visibility.
    
    When thunder roars, go indoors! Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year.
    
    Severe thunderstorm warnings are issued when imminent or occurring thunderstorms are expected to produce damaging hail, wind or rain.

    This is the first big step in the process to develop comprehensive guidelines for the Fedecan non-profit and the various platforms.

    While this will mostly involve converting tacit knowledge and experience into an explicit written form, we expect that this process will inevitably bring up some points of disagreement on the best way to deal with different issues. We ask everyone participating in these discussions to please contribute constructively and in good faith. We encourage you to bring up any concerns or issues you have with the proposed structure and drafted guidelines, so that we can work together to fix them early on. However, in order to keep a productive environment for those discussions, we will be pruning any comment chains that devolve into personal attacks, slap fights, etc.

    To help ground your feedback, consider these thought experiments when evaluating a potential guideline:

    • Veil of ignorance: Would it still feel fair to you if you switched places with someone else on the platform (ex. a new user, a moderator, an admin, a member of a vulnerable group, etc.)?
    • Equal Applicability: These rules will be enforced uniformly on everyone. A poorly written rule that helps "your side" today, can easily harm "your side" in the future as circumstances change.

    The full guidelines, including governance details like the annual review cycle, can be found on the website: https://fedecan.ca/en/guidelines/

    We plan to structure the guidelines as follows:

    diagram of the tiers that are described below

    Tier 1: Fedecan Rules

    Internal Conduct

    These rules apply to Fedecan team members (directors, officers, admins, and anyone with elevated access). They set expectations for how team members should act.

    Universal Rules

    These are the baseline rules that apply to every user on every Fedecan platform. They cover the things that are prohibited by Canadian law (threats, hate speech, CSAM, non-consensual intimate imagery) as well as universal policy rules (privacy/doxxing, harassment, fraud, content that could cause harm, labelling of sensitive content, etc.).

    Tier 2: Platform-Specific

    Each platform has different functionality and norms, so this is where we can be more specific with the rules. The threadiverse platforms (lemmy.ca, piefed.ca, sh.itjust.works) share similar rules around community creation, moderation, vote manipulation, and content labelling. Pixelfed has its own rules tailored to its platform.

    Tier 3: Community-Level Rule Templates

    These are optional templates that communities can link to, or use as a starting point for their own rules. The idea is that moderators can point users to a clearly written explanation of why a rule exists, and any relevant exceptions, rather than trying to fit everything into the sidebar. Additionally, if many communities are enforcing a particular rule in the same way, then users will have an easier time understanding and following them.

    The post title standards template has been drafted, and we plan to add more as the need arises. I have a few others that are in the works, but they have some overlap with the other sections, so I thought that it would be better to let people discuss first.
